Security pocket

Abstract

Included herein are multiple pocket systems orientated along a seam or other shared axis of positioning where a primary pocket is provided and a subordinate secondary pocket is accessible through the primary pocket. In so doing the primary pocket may be positioned before the subordinate secondary security pocket and user access to the higher pocket and the subordinate security pocket may lie along the same positioning axis where access to the security pocket is primarily achieved after passing into the primary pocket.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A fabric pocket system comprising:
 an upper pocket having an opening and an interior; and 
 a security pocket having an opening and an interior,
 the upper pocket opening configured to permit access to the upper pocket interior, 
 the security pocket opening configured to permit access to the security pocket interior, 
 the security pocket interior solely accessible through the interior of the upper pocket, wherein
 each pocket is comprised of fabric, 
 the opening of the upper pocket lies along a seam of a pant leg, 
 the opening of the security pocket lies along the same seam of the pant leg as the opening of the upper pocket and is accessible in a direction opposite to the direction of access for the opening of the upper pocket, and 
 at least a portion of a bottom of the opening of the security pocket is secured to the pant leg. 
 
 
 
     
     
       2. The pocket system of  claim 1  wherein the pant leg is comprised of merino wool fabric or cotton fabric or polyester fabric or any other fabric or combination thereof other than denim. 
     
     
       3. The pocket system of  claim 1 
 wherein the security pocket is oriented to a backside of a wearer of the pant leg and the upper pocket is oriented towards a front side of the wearer of the pant leg, 
 wherein at least a portion of the security pocket is secured to the pant leg seam, and 
 wherein at least a portion of the upper pocket is not secured to the pant leg. 
 
     
     
       4. The pocket system of  claim 1  wherein the pant leg is comprised of denim. 
     
     
       5. The pocket system of  claim 1  wherein the opening of the security pocket is below the opening of the first upper pocket and wherein a lower seam of the security pocket and a lower seam of the upper pocket are not positioned on the same piece of fabric. 
     
     
       6. The pocket system of  claim 1  wherein at least a portion of the upper pocket below the top location and at least a portion of the security pocket below the top location are secured to the seam. 
     
     
       7. The pocket system of  claim 1  wherein a ledge is formed between the upper pocket and the security pocket. 
     
     
       8. The pocket system of  claim 1  wherein at least a portion of the security pocket opening is secured to the pant leg and wherein there is an offset between the security pocket and the upper pocket. 
     
     
       9. A method of assembling a pocket system comprising:
 sewing two or more layers of fabric together to form a primary pocket; and 
 sewing two or more layers of fabric together to form a secondary pocket, the two or more layers of fabric for the secondary pocket apart from the two or more layers of fabric for the primary pocket wherein
 the primary pocket is an upper pocket having an opening and an interior; 
 the secondary pocket is a security pocket having an opening and an interior, the secondary pocket opening having a top location at which its opening begins and a bottom location at which its opening ends; 
 
 wherein the primary pocket opening is configured for accessing the primary pocket's interior, the secondary pocket's opening is configured for accessing the secondary pocket's interior, and the secondary pocket's interior is solely accessible through the interior of the primary pocket, 
 wherein the opening of the primary pocket lies along a non-horizontal seam of a pant leg, and 
 wherein the opening of the secondary security pocket lies along the same seam of the pant leg as the opening of the primary pocket and is accessible in a direction opposite to the direction of access for the opening of the primary pocket. 
 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 9  wherein the fabric has a weight of less than 1000 g per square meter. 
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 9  wherein the primary pocket has a bottom and the secondary pocket has a bottom wherein the bottom of the primary pocket extends below the bottom of the secondary pocket and is noncontinuous with the bottom of the secondary pocket. 
     
     
       12. The method of  claim 9  wherein at least a portion of the primary pocket is secured to the pant leg below the top location and at least a portion of the secondary pocket is secured to the pant leg below the top location. 
     
     
       13. A sewn item having a pocket system comprising:
 a first layer of fabric material, a second layer of fabric material, a third layer of fabric material and a fourth layer of fabric material;
 a first set of two or more of the four layers of fabric material sewn together to define a primary pocket with a first opening, the first opening accessible from outside the sewn item; 
 a second set of two or more of the four layers of fabric material sewn together to define a security pocket with a security pocket opening and a security pocket interior, the security pocket opening only accessible via the primary pocket; 
 the security pocket opening and the first opening are oriented along a shared seam of the sewn item; 
 the security pocket opening and the first opening have a fixed position relative to the sewn item; and 
 the interior of the security pocket solely reachable through the opening of the primary pocket via a serpentine access path that crosses the shared seam in a first direction to enter the primary pocket and then crosses the shared seam in the opposite direction across the shared seam to enter the security pocket from inside the primary pocket. 
 
 
     
     
       14. The sewn item of  claim 13  wherein the item is a jacket or tote or luggage or garment other than a jacket. 
     
     
       15. The sewn item of  claim 14  wherein the seam is not horizontal and wherein the garment comprises at least one of a skirt or shorts. 
     
     
       16. The sewn item of  claim 13  wherein the item is a pair of pants and wherein the seam is between a 45° and 90° angle relative to a waistband of the pants. 
     
     
       17. The sewn item of  claim 13  wherein the seam is a vertical seam. 
     
     
       18. The sewn item of  claim 13  wherein the security pocket opening does not overlap with the opening of the primary pocket.
